ANA and Air Incheon start Japan–South Korea freighter codeshare

All Nippon Airways and Air Incheon have started codesharing on freighter services between Japan and South Korea from September 15, 2025.

Under the codeshare deal, ANA and Air Incheon will market cargo space on each other’s flights, expanding network reach and improving capacity to meet rising cargo demand.

Air Incheon, which completed the integration of Asiana Airlines' freighter business on Aug. 1, 2025, also announced plans to rebrand as AIRZETA, subject to government approval. This integration positions the company as South Korea's second-largest cargo airline operator.

The codeshare covers freighter flights between Narita (NRT) and Incheon (ICN). On the NRT–ICN sector, ANA’s flight NH8475, operated with a Boeing 767F, is marketed as Air Incheon’s KJ1816 and operates three days a week (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday). On the ICN–NRT route, Air Incheon’s KJ198 (B747F) and KJ194 (B767F) are marketed as ANA’s NH6904 and NH6902, respectively, operating on select weekdays.

ANA Holdings acquired shares of Nippon Cargo Airlines (NCA) on Aug. 1, 2025. By integrating NCA's large-freighter capabilities with the ANA Group's international network, ANA will strengthen support for the increasing role of global logistics.

ANA Group currently operates a fleet of cargo aircraft comprising 6 Boeing 767Fs and 2 Boeing 777Fs under ANA operations, along with 8 Boeing 747Fs operated by NCA. Meanwhile, South Korea-based Air Incheon operates a total of 15 freighters, including 4 Boeing 737Fs, 10 Boeing 747Fs, and 1 Boeing 767F.
